Maayan Elyakim: Sun, Dial
The exhibition presents novel perspectives on myths and traditions from the distant past, by placing them in new, contemporary contexts. It is underpinned by a wide range of images, sources of inspiration and ideological and visual references.
At the heart of it is a large-scale mural simulating the façade of a building in an eclectic architectural style, in front of which are two display platforms with works of art in a variety of media and techniques. Sun, Dial brings together numerous crafts of the past, creating an inverted reflection of an era in which hardly any crafts remain.
